Volume 2 Chapter 119: Jackal

  Jiāo Ná, as a woman, wielded a sharp blade and killed over ten mountain bandits. Her face was splattered with blood, but her expression didn't change. Lǔ Xī Yuè wasn't surprised by this at all; in the past, she had seen some extraordinary people from the jianghu, martial arts masters, and knew that the world was vast, hiding dragons and tigers.

  Lu Xi had met many people, but when she saw Huangfu, she understood that he was not an ordinary citizen or a common rich man. With such a father, it was normal to have a daughter with exceptional skills. The only thing that surprised her was Jiana's ruthless efficiency in killing bandits, which didn't match her gentle appearance at all.

  But due to her hatred for the mountain bandits, Lu Xi Yue actually thought that Jia Na was killed well, she herself had also been wronged. One who promotes goodness does not eliminate evil, how can goodness be proclaimed?

  Benefiting the people by eliminating harm, killing is also good!

  Lu Xi Yue's bumpy origin had already decided her clear-cut personality of loving and hating.

  Although he had accepted Jiona's low-key nature, he was suddenly taken aback by the sight of her and a bird chirping back and forth at each other, and Ruxiao Yue couldn't help but stare at the bird in bewilderment.

  Parrots learn to talk, originally normal, in the bird-walking building, there are several cages of parrots and eight brothers, they have been carefully trained, can imitate people's speech, due to environmental issues, from time to time will also open their mouths and say a few sentences that make people laugh: "Young master, you're so bad, touching someone's...".

  "Grandpa, don't play anymore, don't want to... uh-huh..."

  It's really funny and makes me want to laugh.

  However, a parrot is just a parrot. Even the cleverest parrot in the world can only learn to talk and has difficulty engaging in complex conversations with humans, especially ones that are so fluent and natural-sounding.

  Is such a bird still a bird?

  Jianna saw Lu Xi's astonished look and smiled to introduce: "Sister Lu, this is a very clever bird of Songniang, we knew you were tied up here this time all thanks to her."

  One "strange" word is enough to explain many unimaginable problems.

  Lu Xi was surprised and delighted to see Song Niang... A few days ago in Hu Village, this bird often appeared before him, and at that time he even praised it. He really didn't expect that this bird called "Song Niang" could speak and was very clever. Calculating, this time he was able to escape disaster, still relying on Song Niang's help.

  "Song Niang, thank you."

  Song Niang flapped her wings and flew onto Lu Xi's shoulder, opening her mouth to say: "Lu sister, no need to thank me, Song Niang really likes you of course won't let bad people bully you."

  Jiāo Nà smiled slyly: "Song Niang, you've misunderstood, Lu Jie has already had someone in her heart for a long time."

  Song Niang's tail flicked up at that moment, and she said with an air of confidence: "I know, but I will definitely defeat him!"

  Pfft!

  Lucky I didn't choke on my food also good thing it didn't happen while eating.

  Jianna sneered: "You think you can defeat Mr. Li? Don't daydream, with just one stroke of his brush, your white eyebrows will turn black."

  "Caw! I'm so scared! " Songniang flapped her wings and flew away again. She was going to monitor the movements of the people on the mountain.

  Seeing Lu Xi Yue's face turn red, Jiana said: "Sister Lu, Song Niang relies on her sharp tongue..."

  "Whose house is this, father's or mother's?"

  As soon as she heard it, Jiona couldn't help but burst out laughing loudly, tears streaming down her face: "Lu sister, with a name like Songniang, of course she's the mother!"

  One word, Sister Lu's words can be used as a secret weapon to "attack" Song Niang in the future, ask Mother Gong...

  Jonna Russo thought.

  Plop plop.

  Song Niang flew back with an expression that seemed somewhat solemn

  What's the expression on a bird's face? Probably only Jona can tell.

  "What's wrong?"

  Song Niang stopped on Jia Na's shoulder and said with her mouth open: "Five people have come, including a Taoist priest."

  "Taoist?"

  Jiao Na raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that Zhang Tian Shi?"

  Li Da Guanren's attendant, Zhang Tian Shi, set up an altar and performed a ritual, summoning the wind and rain, and flying swords to slay the giant snake. The incident had already spread throughout Suzhou City. Although no corpse of the giant snake was found at the scene, the large-scale chaotic battle scars clearly told everyone what had happened. As for the situation where the giant snake's corpse was not seen, Zhang Tian Shi said: "Well, it's all because this Taoist priest miscalculated and didn't expect that the snake already had a hundred years of cultivation, so the flying sword lacked some fire power and could only wound it. However, with one sword strike, the giant snake was injured and fled far away, and from now on, it will not dare to come out again to harm people."

  He said this with a very painful and distressed expression, but actually he was being tightly controlled by Li Da Guan's people and couldn't escape, worrying that his lies would be exposed, secretly suffering.

  As for the various things that happened in Dongshan Nanling, Zhang Tian Shi was naturally unaware of them. His original name was Zhang Ziran, and he had once studied Taoism under the outer mountain of Longhu Mountain due to a chance encounter. However, he didn't have the determination or patience to study Taoism, and after half a year of meditation, he couldn't bear the dullness and loneliness, so he resigned and left the mountain.

  Before going down the mountain, he obtained a "Ghost-Dispatching Command Token" through some special connections.

  It was with this token that Zhang Ziran relied on a small spell to dispatch a ghostly errand boy, and became the master of Chao Tian Guan in Jiangzhou, claiming to be the Heavenly Master. However, after being persuaded by Wu Wencai to use his old tricks again, he encountered Chen Jiaming's penmanship and righteous energy, causing the token to be destroyed and losing its magical powers.

  For Chen Jianchen, whom he had never met before, Zhang naturally hated him to the bone. In his opinion, Chen Jianchen cut off his financial road, and this hatred would not be shared under the same sky.

  But he couldn't do anything about Chen Jianchen either. To say nothing of the fact that he only knew where Chen Jianchen's residence was in Jiangzhou, but had never even seen what Chen Jianchen looked like.

  Zhang Ziran squandered the fine soft goods, fearing Wu Wenchang's pursuit, and ran to many places in a row. Every time he arrived at a place, he indulged in food and drink, spending money like flowing water. The family property that had been embezzled was almost depleted after being used up. Later, when he arrived in Suzhou, his purse was completely empty after spending several nights on the river in Suzhou.

  Looking at the shriveled purse, Zhang Ziran's resentment towards Chen Jianchen deepened. He suddenly made a decision that after making money, he would hire an assassin to sneak into Jiangzhou and kill Chen Jianchen, thus avenging his hatred.

  However, before killing Chen Jianchen, Zhang Ziran first had to solve his own living problem. It so happened that he heard Li Da Guanren was generous and liked to make friends with extraordinary people, so he went to join him.

  After listening to his boastful self-recommendation, Li Yifeng immediately asked him to post an official notice in his name to kill the giant snake at the government office. At this point, Zhang Ziran had no choice but to agree and set up an altar to perform rituals, waiting for an opportunity to escape and flee far away from Suzhou.

  Unfortunately, Li Yifeng was not an easy person to fool around with. He stared at Zhang tightly and also sent someone to the east mountain south ridge to find the python's corpse.

  Zhang naturally cursed in his heart, thinking: "I'm afraid this time we'll capsize and reveal our true form..." But he never expected that the three people who went to search for Shi Hong would return with news that was far beyond his expectations...

  Next, it naturally follows that he finally gained the great trust of Li Da Guanren and became a real honored guest, and received a large reward.

  The whole process was like a dream.

  But Zhang naturally knew his own affairs, and before he figured out the outcome of the big snake, he felt that he should leave Li's house first and avoid it for a while. If the big snake didn't appear again during this time, he could come back with ease and establish a second Chongtian Temple in Suzhou without any problem.

  Then Zhang Tian Shi told Li Yi Feng he wanted to go back to Dragon Tiger Mountain for a while.

  Li Yifeng did not object to this, but before Zhang Ziran left, Li Yifeng asked him to follow him up the mountain at dusk.

  Zhang Ziran didn't know why the official would go up the mountain at night for no reason, but he was a clever person and didn't ask. Anyway, by the next day, he could directly take the windfall and leave with it.

  Apart from him, Li Yifeng also brought three strong and capable bodyguards to accompany him, two of whom were responsible for carrying the sedan chair.

  The mountain path winds its way up, like a giant snake stretching upwards. As it's winter, there are no insects chirping on either side, making the atmosphere very quiet and still.

  Li Yifeng sat in a small sedan chair with his eyes closed, cultivating his spirit. When he thought of Lu Xi's endearing face, his heart began to beat faster...

  As a seasoned connoisseur of women and a man of status, Li Da Guan Ren has very high standards for the quality of women. In recent years, there have been few women who can move his heart.

  No doubt, Lu Xi Yue is one. Thinking about his identity as a member of the Lu family's bloodline can add extra excitement.

  As he thought about it, Li Da Guan suddenly felt that a certain part of his body was already itching to take action.

  As for the relationship between Lu Xi Yue and Huang Fu Yuan Wai, he had already sent someone to investigate and got a general idea. The two parties did not have too deep a relationship, and Huang Fu Yuan Wai might not necessarily stand up for Lu Xi Yue. Taking a step back,

  Even if Huangfu Yuanwai intervenes, no matter how powerful he is, it will still be impossible to find any results in the short term.

  Human strength will eventually be exhausted, but time stands on its own side.

  After tonight, Lu Xi will be gone without a trace, and neither the government nor Huangfu's side will have any leads. Moreover, it was just a young prostitute from a brothel who died, with no relatives to file a lawsuit, so who would pursue this matter further?

  Suddenly, the sedan chair came to a stop.

  What happened, did you arrive at Chicken Crown Cave?

  Li Yifeng was just about to speak when a voice came from outside: "Master, there's a wolf!" A wolf?

  Li Yifeng was taken aback, and as he opened the curtain of his sedan chair, he saw a grayish-brown wolf crouching in the middle of the mountain path ahead, its triangular eyes staring coldly at them.

  In the desolate mountains and wild ridges, the sky had already darkened. A wolf appeared on the mountain path, which was nothing out of the ordinary. However, Li Da Guan Ren became somewhat irritated and shouted at the guard, "Since there's a wolf blocking our way, why aren't you taking action? Do I need to go and fight it myself?"

  The nurse nodded and nodded, pulled out the knife from her waist and walked up with big strides.

  Unexpectedly, the wolf did not run away as expected, but instead stood up on its hind legs, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and spoke in human language: "This mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass through this road, leave your life and wealth behind!" The voice was soft and gentle, like a young girl's.

  Bam!

  But it was the knife in the hand of the guard that suddenly fell to the ground.
